Miracle on 34th Street (1994, Les Mayfield)

03/01/2024

Miracle on 34th Street is a 1994 film directed by Les Mayfield and starring Richard Attenborough as Santa Claus. It is a remake of the famous 1947 film Miracle on 34th Street directed by George Seaton.

November 24th, Thanksgiving Day. Tony, the Santa Claus of the Cole department store, should close the big parade through the streets of New York on a sleigh pulled by fake reindeer; however he is caught drunk while carrying out his job by Mr. Kris Kringle.

Meanwhile, the Lanbergh stores, competitors of the Cole stores, hatch a plan to discredit Cole's Santa Klaus Kris Kringle, managing to have him arrested and locked up in a psychiatric clinic. When everything seems compromised for Kris Kringle since the true existence of Santa Claus has not been proven, little Susan approaches and shows the judge a Christmas card with a dollar bill.

Following the court case, Dorey and Bryan maneuvered by Kris into realizing their true feelings for each other, and they marry in a small ceremony just after midnight mass on Christmas Eve.

Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a score of 60% based on reviews from 35 critics. TV Guide called the film "curiously depressing", while Desson Howe of The Washington Post stated, in contrast to the 1947 version, that it "will no longer be found on television (or it's computer equivalent) in half a century." Its supporters included Gene Sisksl and Roger Ebert, who gave the film ("two thumbs up" on their show.

I object, your honor. This is irrelevant and immaterial, to say nothing of being absolutely ridiculous. Mr. Bedford is making a mockery of this court. He has not even established that there is such a person as Santa Claus.
